Chapter One

Episode 2 - Memory

• The friendship moments between Bumblebee and Windblade are made of heartwarming, such as the two hugging in Bumblebee's mindscape:
  Bumblebee: I remember now! We used to be friends!
  Windblade, hugging Bee: We still are.

Episode 6 - Megatron is My Hero

• While remembering Megatron, Windblade let it slip that he did something terrible to Bumblebee. When he tries to get more information from her, she tries to shield him by downplaying the memory. Bumblebee forcibly recalls the memory and before he sees it, Windblade apologizes in advance. After witnessing Megatron tearing out his voicebox, both are visibly shaken, but Bumblebee composes himself, laughs the whole thing off, and starts trying to cheer up Windblade. It works.

Episode 7 - Cube

• This is the episode where we learn how Bumblebee and Windblade became friends.
• Despite barely knowing him, Windblade recognizes and cheers for Bumblebee pretending to be a cube mascot.

Episode 10 - Maccadam's

• Just every scene with the aforementioned barkeep and how he is trying to help Bumblebee and Windblade in the flashback.
• In the present day, the elation from Bumblebee and Windblade when they realize they finally have a lead.

Episode 13 - Matrix of Leadership

• During the second flashback, Optimus fights through a blockade of Decepticons to carry a wounded Prowl to safety. Prowl characteristically protests, but Optimus isn't having any of it.

Episode 14 - Siloed

• Windblade's flashback of her and Bee enjoying a friendly pickup game.

Episode 15 - King of Dinosaurs

• Towards the very end, Grimlock is finally informed that his friends, organic dinosaurs, are all gone, wiped away by a meteor. As he despairs, he activates a video he filmed in the past where he and a gathering of dinosaurs bravely pledge to face the coming apocalypse together. This fully reminds him of who he is and he transforms, picks up his crown, sits on his throne, and happily welcomes his Autobot friends to his home.

Episode 18 - Eruption

• The first thing Bumblebee did after seeing Optimus again is to hug his mentor who reciprocate the feeling. D'aww!

Chapter Two - Power of the Spark

Chapter Three - Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures

Chapter Four - Movies

The Immobilizers

• Arcee and Grimlock’s little graverobbing adventure is this and Cross the Line Twice.
• The moment leading up to the peace treaty is a beautiful reminder of how our heroes (and anti-heroes) were able to unite again as friends. Special mention to Prime's and Soundwave's little nods of friendship to each other.
• After Arcee was frozen by the mercenaries in an attempt to ward them off, Grimlock makes sure to keep her safe while carrying her around with the other Dinobots. A cute little detail includes him patting her head gently and telling her, "Stay here."
  Grimlock: My friend...whoever did this to you shall rue the day!
• The fact that Grimlock does end up influencing an entire civilization to adopt dinosaur modes through his farewell message. Looks like his friends didn't die for nothing!
• Swoop finally has her brilliant plan acknowledged by Grimlock.
• Soundblaster being carried to safety by Nightbird after losing his legs counts.
• After managing to free everyone, the peace treaty is signed and a non-creepy parade is held in celebration. Highlights include Clobber and Lockdown hugging each other, Arcee meeting the other Dinobots, and Soundwave getting back Laserbeak when they were forcibly separated by Soundblaster.

The Perfect Decepticon

• When Astrotrain crashed down from the sky, Bumblebee didn't hesitate to tell two bots to get help for him.
• Seeing the Dinobots act like affectionate puppies during the Council meeting is so charming and enduring. Also, Bumblebee petting Slug's head while the latter's tail wags? D'aww!
• Hot Rod being impressed by Volcanicus is this and Funny.
• After Tarn pleads to our heroes for help regarding his fellow supersoldiers, Optimus immediately agree to help him out of the kindness of his spark. Too bad that his new friend turned out to be a bastard...
  • Even when they protest out of suspicion towards Tarn (which was proven to be correct later on), Soundwave and Shadowstriker are willing to help out when Prime pleads for Tarn's case.
  Optimus: Soundwave, Shadowstriker, no one knows the horrors of unending conflict more than we do.
• In a great culmination of her Character Development, Shadowstriker helps Bumblebee and Thunderhowl escape from Tarn's clutches at the cost of her getting captured.
• Upon seeing Clobber and the others being overwhelmed by the Decepticon supersoldiers, Lockdown immediately comes to his best friend's rescue.
• When Tarn orders the Decepticon to attack the Autobots, they unanimously refused. Shadowstriker emerges from the crowd and reveals that the Decepticons have unanimously decided the peace treaty still stands. Considering the previous show that most Decepticon would try to either restart the war or control the newfound peace to their advantage, the fact all of them want to peacefully coexist instead of following Tarn in his conquest is quite heartwarming.
• In a desperate attempt to get the Cortext Helm away from Tarn, Hot Rod received a brutal No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from the latter. This causes Soundwave to perform a Heroic Sacrifice to kill Tarn so he can save everyone.
  Soundwave: (eyes glowing with fury) You will pay for this.
  • Additionally, instead of using the Cortex Helm for similar reasons to Tarn's, he freed the supersoldiers so they can live as independent beings alongside the Cybertronians. What did you say about the survival of sentient beings, Tarn?
  • The fact that it's Soundwave of all bots is a brilliant subversion of his previous iterations, as he did show that he has a spark underneath his Jerkass demeanor.
• To honor Soundwave for his sacrifice, the cast holds a memorial at the very same place where he started his path of redemption: Maccadam's. Hot Rod's eulogy sums up how much Soundwave changed for the better:
  Hot Rod: Soundwave wouldn't want me to say nice things about him, so...one time, Soundwave soundblasted me so hard the flames came right off my grill. And Clobber! Remember how Soundwave ordered you to destroy me and you said yes? (Clobber reacts with amusement.) Hey Windblade! Remember when Soundwave held you prisoner and made you listen to that awful dubstep compilation for astrocycles? (Windblade reacts the same.) What a jerk! (He laughs, and his voice then softens.) Soundwave was truly an evil Decepticon...but Soundwave turned out to be more than that. He became a friend to me, and he was a hero to us all.
  • What follows is everyone's toast to him.
  Optimus: To Soundwave! Now all are one!
  All: To Soundwave! All are one! All are one!
• After expressing his pride in Bumblebee, Windblade, and the others for making their dream of a peaceful Cybertron a reality, Prime hugs the two and Hot Rod. Then...Shadowstriker came out with Laserbeak on her shoulder and Hot Rod playfully urges her to join them. At first, she reacts with her usual annoyance. However, she then joins in by putting her hand on Hot Rod's shoulder as the other four still hug (bonus points for her very Adorkable smile). Then, as the cherry on top, Grimlock and the Dinobots joins the hug and pushes her in as everyone (including Shadowstriker) reacts with warm amusement. The camera then zooms out to a gorgeous shot of a rebuilt Cybertron, which wouldn't be possible without everyone willing to fight for peace. At long last, as avid Transformers fans state, all are one.
• The title of the finale is one when you consider the Fridge Brilliance. By demonstrating a selfless act of compassion and love and leading the Decepticons to join the Autobots into the final battle, Shadowstriker and Soundwave are the Perfect Decepticons.
